BiastFear

With their new album All Angels Scream, Ohio's Biastfear look to make a statement. Their style is self-described as "Heavy-Hop", mixing elements metal, hip-hop, and r&b (courtesy of new lead singer Crystal). The result is as interesting and original as the description might suggest -- not always an immediate listen, as some of the songs take some getting used two, but Crystal's vocals are excellent and the songs stand up well. Certainly a unique twist on metal, definitely worth checking out. The band's earlier album, The Ties That Bind, is a more conventional affair, at least in comparison to the new material, opting for ultra-heavy riffing mixed with some sampling, sounding at times a bit like Fear Factory, at other times maybe like Crowbar. An interesting album, though no longer really supported by the band as it has little to do with their current direction. In July 2003 the band announced that they would be going on an indefinite hiatus to reassess their goals, but they are probably disbanded now.
